The Oakland-Craig Volleyball Team went 3-1 at the East Husker Conference Tournament last week before falling 3-0 at home to Clarkson/Leigh Tuesday night.
At conference, the Knights lost 2-1 to Logan View/Scribner-Snyder, but beat Madison 2-0 at Clarkson/Leigh last Thursday night before winning 2-0 over North Bend Central and BRLD at North Bend Central on Saturday.
Oakland-Craig took set one from the Raiders 25-8 before LVSS took set two 25-20 and set three 30-28.
The Knights topped the Dragons 25-15 in set one and 25-19 in set two.
The Knights beat the Wolverines 25-13 in set one and 25-18 in set two.
Oakland-Craig downed the Tigers 25-19 in sets one and two.
The Patriots defeated the Knights 25-10 in set one, 25-23 in set two, and 27-25 in set three.
I thought Oakland-Craig played really well in the Conference Tournament, and respectable against Clarkson/Leigh.
The Knights (12-17) host Wisner-Pilger (20-10) Tuesday night.
The Gators swept Fort Calhoun and Logan View/Scribner-Snyder 2-0 at Thursday night's home Triangular.
Wisner-Pilger is as hot as anyone right now, and it figures to be tough to beat them given how they're playing right now.
Gators Head Coach Jean Groth just picked up her 800th career win too.
Certainly a very challenging match for Oakland-Craig, but a preview of what could be to come in the postseason.
Right now I would say Wisner-Pilger has the best chance of anyone in the Sub-District to win it and get to a Sub-State match.
But if the Knights could knock off the Gators then I think Oakland-Craig would feel they're right there too if they don't feel that already.
It's a big week next week for the Knights with this match with Wisner-Pilger and a home match against BRLD next Thursday.
It's also the last time these Seniors will play matches on their home floor.
Hopefully Oakland-Craig has Dacey Nelson back because they really need her in the lineup.
Natalia McNeill and Bailey Helzer are great players too, but Nelson really makes this team great as well.
The Knights are playing as good of Volleyball as they have all season long.
Oakland-Craig has to be optimistic and feel like they can win and compete well both Tuesday and next Thursday night.
The Knights need to have some good practices before these matches, and get ready for the final stretch run.
There's still lots that Oakland-Craig can accomplish, and the Knights have to remain hungry and determined.
Oakland-Craig has to get themselves geared up for the final week of the regular season, which feels weird that it's already here.
It feels like the season just started, but here we are almost to the end of the season already.
